Pretty Lamp Shades and Candle Screens
and Other Decorations.
Every day develops some novelty in
useful articles intended to give comfort
to the family as well as to beautify the
home. Over lamp globes shades are
placed to protect the eyes, and even the
light of the candle is obscured by
dainty screens.
The scarf or shawl lamp shade Of
blue or pink isse is embroidered in
white silk and falls over the globe in
shawl points, the lamp chimneys pass
ing through q hole in the center of the
pretty creation.
A homemade lamp shade is of fig
ured fimsy paper, fancifully plated
and vandycked, SO that it locks. as if
trimmed with bows and plated rib
bons. It is arranged over a wire frame
and looks very handsome when sub
iected to a strong light.
Numbers of ladies now use wax
candles early in the evening, during
the hour of family reunion, in prefer
ence 10 SasuShI, anG, perhaps, TO
show off the lovely little fire screens,
which are now so popular.
One has in it's center small medal
lion of bronze, hand painted in colors
and showing the figures of a boy and
girl. 1t is edged with plaitings of fine
lisse and is encircled with a wreath OF
daisies and finished with small bows of
pink ribbon.
In oval shape is neat candle screen
of white corded silk, bound with ruby
plush and decorated in center with a
bunch of lilies of the valley tied with a
bow of green ribbon. These screens
or shades are secured to the candle
stick by an ornamental clasp in
bronze, gold or silver.-Albamy IN

ENGLISH COMPOSITION.
The One Thing Needful to the Success OF
Instructor and Scholar.

The One Thing Needful to the Success OF
Instructor and Scholar.
In my judgment the work of an in
structor in English composition is, in
deed, limited in range, but is very inn
portant within its range. His office is
not so much to provide his pupils with
matters for thought, or with machinery
for thinking, as to show them how to
communicate their thoughts to others
in the clearess, strongest and most eff
fective manner. To this end he should
strive, in the first place, to stimulate
their minds, so that they may put
forth their full powers when they
write, and put them forth naturally
and with the force of their individu-
ality; and, in the second place, he
should, so far as in him lies, remove
the obstruction which ignorance, half
knowledge, bad training, mannerism,
self-consciousness, imitation of poor
models, the thousand and one forces
that fight against good English, place
between the thought and its free and
natural expression.
Over some of these obstacles q stud
ent's mental energy will, if reused to
its full power, carry him by its own
momentum; for, as every one knows,
a writer is less likely to make egregious
errors in spelling or punctuation, for
instance, if he be so absorbed in the
matter of what he is writing as to give
no conscious attention to forms or
words or construction of sentences.
The more firmly, moreover, his mind
graspS the subject in hand, and more
rapid the moments of his train of
thought, the more likely he is to hit
upon the best words and the best ar
rangement of words.
If a teacher, then, is able to interest
his pupils in what they are writing so
fully that they put their best selves into
their work with the pen, he will sue
ceed not only in giving to it continuity
and individuality not otherwise to be
attained, but also in diminishing the
number of errors and defects. Those
which remain should be dealt
with firmly but considerable
". The student should
be made to feel that they are removed
in order that the free flow of his
thought may be unimpeded, and that
they are of no account as compared
with lack of life and of unity in the
composition as a whole.
Every teacher will decide for himself
how to stimulate his pupils. The
means are as various as the conditions
of life and the idiosyncrasies of human
nature. What is one mans meat is
another mans poison. What is sue
cessful with a small class will fail with
large one. In all cases and under
all conditions, the one thing needful is
that the teacher should have the power
to awaken interest and inspire enthu-
siasm. If he does not throw himself
into his work, the minds of his pupils
will be cold and sluggish. They must
catch fire from him.-Prof. 4. s. Hill,

Status of the Peterby Family.

The following conversation, between
two Austin ladies at the Austin Opera
house, was overheard by an elderly
gentleman, who gave it away:
'.Mrs. Peterby called ON me the other
day, and don't know whether or moi
I should return her call. What sort OF
people are they any howP"
81 haven't had any thing to say to
the Peterbys for years, but before that
I was quite intimate with them, and

pie, and l never knew a respectable
person to associate with them. "-IeIds

EDITORS HERALD: The recent rains
cast the broadcast of smiles on farmers
faces. while the merchants and deal
ers returned that grin with double
interest, knowing the farmer will
spend his shekels freely for the bad s
of Christmas goods which are daily
arriving and placed so invitingly
for sale. Confectionery and toys are
being purchased, and the children Of
mature years slyly purchase gifts Of
more pretention and value for some
loved one and have them laid away
until the Xmas bells shall proclaim
the joyful morning.
Emigrants continue 10 come into
our thrifty valley, seeking homes
which look to them a summerland in

with a family, but oftener with two OF
them making out until houses can be
built or homes secured.

Several new residences are now rising
up amid the once productive orchards.
Our roadmaster has been grading
our main streets for the winter travel.
The Presbyterian church has been SO
far completed as to admit OF service
in it. Sunday School was organized
in it last Sabbath, and yesterday the
Ladies' Aid Society placed 100 chairs
in the house as a beginning toward
seating it; and, by the way, Miss
Mamie Short, the celebrated elocu-
zionist, will give us an evenings en-
tertainment for the benefit OF the
Presbyterian church on the Goth inst.
Street paving begins thie week by
Los Angeles man, l am told, and
none too soon. This climbing up and
down rickety porches, all of different
heights, is no fun; and, as to looks, it
is perfectly execrable.
Our wagon and carriage dealers are
coming to the front by laying in some
very stylish rigs and family carriages.
A much-needed object is being built
"a bakery, and last but not least, is
the bootblack stand.
Our new river bridges are still un-

completed before heavy rain visits

The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1887-03-25

SINCE the passage of the Interstate
Commerce bill by Congress, the subject
of railroad passes has been widely dis
cussed, and the railroad managers, an
ticipating results. have signiied their
intention of issuing no more free passes
after the first of next month. Although
the Interstate Commerce bill does not
prohibit the issuing of free passes, the
Constitution of Pennsylvania does, for
it contains this provision mo railroad,
railway, or other transportation compa-
ny, shall grant free passes, or passes at a
discount, to any person except officers or
employees Of the company" In passing
the nti-Discrimination bill, now pend
ing in the Pennsylvania Legislature, if
the object Of the framers Of the bill is to
comply with constitutional requirements
it should be made broad enough 20 in
clude in its measures the spirit of this
clause of the Constitution, and prohibit
the issue of free passes. Such a law
would strike a majority of the members
of the present Legislature very hard, for
while they violate the Constitution with
impunity, their inconsistency would be
too glowing we're they to openly violate
their own law on the subject, and there
fore it is hardly to be expected such a
clause will be inserted in the pending
bill.

three years Walter a. Bragg, Alab@ma, &,
for the term of two years.
The fact that Mr.. Cooley's name heads

sion, as 1t must elect its own chairman.
Mr.. Cooley was recently appointed by
Judge Gresham receiver OF the Wabash
RsilrOad Company. He was born in the
Stale of New Y ork, in 1924. In 1S45

Ulose personal and political friend of
Governor Tilden. He succeed I'd Mr..
Fairchild as Attorney General of New
York State.
Mr.. Bragg has been a leading Demo-
crat of Alabama for some years. In 1881
he was made president of the State Rail
road Commission, and served in that

many important questions arising bs-
tween the railroads and their customers
were satisfactorily adjusted.
Mr.. MofTison's public services are
well known. He was born in Monroe
county, Illinois, Sept IA, 1925 was edu-
Gated IN the common schools and at
McKendall College, Illinois. He is d
lawyer by profession, and has been four
times a member of the Illinois House of
